There are almost 37,000 medical doctors in South Africa. I'm sure if I started a petition amongst them that claimed that eating cheese cured cancer, I'd be able to persuade 19 of them to sign it. And that's just medical doctors. In other cases like this, oftentimes the "experts" aren't experts...

If only there were several groups of highly trained people who specialise in this, have worked on it all their lives, have conducted research into similar viruses and pandemics, and have experience working with similar cases. And if only they had some kind of common agreement on this. And if...

I'm sorry, but this is complete bollocks, and dangerous to boot. If you (general you, I assume you personally aren't such an idiot) don't think this is a pandemic, that coronavius kills, and that lockdown and social distancing should end, then you're going to be directly responsible for death on...

Yes, and those people are idiots, irrespective of whatever politics they espouse.

It does to some extent, and combat can still take a long time to get through, but the escalation die helps with that. There's definitely none of the 4e "all classes are equal" thing going on though; the barbarian, for example, is going to be doing a bit more damage at higher levels than lower...

When people decde that the important thing to do in an epidemic is to gather in large groups and demand thatsocial distancing comes to an end, that's not a political statement, that's a statement of complete idiocy and disdain for the health of themselves and anyone they come into contact with.

That's not politics, that's just basic stupidity being shown.

I started with basic D&D (back when there was just the basic and expert boxes), then moved to AD&D fairly quickly (within a year). We played that for a little while, but before v2 came out we'd already switched to other games (RQ and Traveller to start with, then Golden Heroes, Rolemaster...

Didn't they do that with the two Eberron books though?

Or are you suggesting that Lolth is a good god, and thus allows free will? I'm pretty sure lolth's write up mentions that she's evil, just like gruumsh.

So why the disconnect in seeing orcs as always evil but not drow, even though theyre written up the same way? Similar God-Driven background, similar alignment listing in MM, similar description of evil actions, but canonical non evil members of one of the two races. How do you see them as...

I'm also not accusing of anything, other than perhaps inconsistency in your opinion. I'm more interested in how you've convinced yourself of a position that doesn't appear to hold up to reason or logic by your own argument, and would be interested in seeing where the fault line is in your reasoning.

Drow are also the playthings of an evil god(dess) and listed as evil in the MM, and described as committing evil acts, but any characters who are drow don't have to be evil. Do you agree with that part? Whether you allow them in your campaign or not is irrelevant, otherwise why talk about the...

Good luck fitz, hope you're on the mend soon.

You claim that orcs always have to be evil because the MM lists them as so, and the text says they're often guilty of evil acts. The MM also lis t s Drow as evil, the text talks about their evil acts etc, exactly as the orc text does. And yet, in the PHB you can play non evil drow, and not just...

So...orcs are always evil, but drow are only sometimes evil (Drizzt and the various other clones), dwarves are only sometimes good, elves are only sometimes good, humans are all over the shop, etc. You realise that you're undermining your own point here, right?

Sorry, but that just doesn't make sense. It's not mislabelling.

Nah, the doc in your example kills by an accident. That's not an evil thing, it was not of his doing, and there was no malice aforethought. The tyrant in your example who thinks they're doing good but is actually evil is an example of what I was saying - a LE tyrant who doesn't know what their...

Honestly, if they could infect each other and somehow keep it to their own circle, they'd be doing the world a favour.

I'd say rpgnet isn't at all friendly to right wing extremists, whereas rpgsite is only friendly to right wing extremists.
